ANDY MURRAY believes that he will soon start to reap the rewards of being reunited with coach Ivan Lendl.

When he returned to the tour last week in Indian Wells, Lendl stayed at home.

Murray was rusty but the four singles and two doubles he played there showed he is not far from hitting top form.

Now that he is back in Florida for the Sony Open in Miami on Wednesday, he knows that Lendl’s guidance should help him hit the ground running.

“Obviously having Ivan around helps because of his experience, his understanding of the game,”said Murray.

“When I spoke to him after my last match at Indian Wells I wasn’t happy with the way I played, but he’s very much like – don’t worry about it, you can’t expect to play perfect after taking a break like that.”
